CD Projekt RED Release Witcher 2 Modding Tools For Free

CD Projekt RED have released REDKit, the mod tool for The Witcher 2, for free. You can grab REDKit on its official website.

The editor has just entered its open beta phase, and allows you to play other modders’ creations or create your own. You can develop full-fledged stories and quests without the need to know how to program, using all of the art assets from The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, or by using your own art.

“For CD Projekt RED, RPGs are all about telling amazing stories,” said Adam Badowski, head of CD Projekt RED. “We want to give players the power to tell the same kind of non-linear, branching stories that made The Witcher games so popular. Our fans have helped us for years to make our games the best they can be, and REDkit is part of embracing our community as a partner in game development.”

Here’s a rundown of REDKit features:

Intuitive tools developed for all would-be storytellers and game designers

Complex and user-friendly terrain tools, including the SpeedTree foliage system
